Jake Bobo’s return to the Seattle Seahawks’ practice field on Monday came with a familiar role and a fresh wrinkle in the receiver room.
Bobo had been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a hamstring injury, but his absence didn’t suddenly put his place with the team in jeopardy. The fourth-year wideout is back in Seattle for his fourth season, and all of them have come with the Seahawks. He arrived at training camp feeling good after signing a new contract, then lost momentum early when the injury hit.
The numbers on Bobo’s regular-season résumé are modest - 34 catches for 323 yards and three touchdowns across three seasons - but the Seahawks clearly value more than the box score. He has appeared in 45 games and made three starts, and his biggest moment remains the 17-yard touchdown grab in the NFC Championship win over the Los Angeles Rams. That play stands as the defining highlight of his career so far.
What keeps Bobo in the mix is the stuff that doesn’t always show up in the stat line. He is one of the better run blockers among Seattle’s receivers and brings steady effort and a strong grasp of the offense.
Even with Brian Fleury stepping in as the new offensive coordinator, Bobo said he is comfortable with the scheme and how he fits into it. The Seahawks also view him as a player who can handle bigger moments if called on.
In that receiver room, he is not just another body fighting for a roster spot.
Still, his time away created an opening for others. With Bobo out, the Seahawks got extended looks at second-year draft pick Ricky White III, veteran Cody White, second-year undrafted Montrorie Foster Jr. and rookie Emmanuel Henderson. Cody White and Ricky White both spent time on the roster last season, while Henderson and Foster have stood out in the most recent practices.
Those two, in particular, have made a strong impression over the past few days, using the extra reps to their advantage as Seattle prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys. Bobo’s injury gave them a chance to show more in practice, and the Seahawks will get another look at them in either of the preseason games.

Anthony Bradford Just Made His Seahawks Feelings Clear Amid Guard Battle
Anthony Bradfords place in Seattle is getting more interesting by the day, and not just because of the new faces the Seahawks have brought into the guard competition. With the team adding draft picks up front, Bradford is trying to hold onto his spot while also making it clear he has more on his mind than just the next snap. He said he has not yet been approached about a contract extension, but his preference is obvious: he wants to stay in Seattle.
Bradfords comments fit the moment well. The Seahawks are sorting through a crowded battle inside, and the guard room is one of the spots where performance this summer could shape more than just the depth chart. For Bradford, the message was simple enough if an offer ever comes, he would be open to a long-term deal, which leaves his future tied to how he handles the competition in front of him. [Read more 🡒]
Jalen Milroe Just Landed A Bigger Seahawks Opportunity Than Expected
Jalen Milroe enters the Seahawks 2026 preseason as the third quarterback on the depth chart, which normally would point to a fairly limited role behind the veterans. But preseason is still where young passers can change the conversation, and Seattle has reason to keep a close eye on how Milroe handles his reps. He is expected to play primarily in exhibition action, the kind of stage that can look routine on paper but carry real weight for a player trying to carve out a longer-term path.
Mike Macdonald has already hinted the team may take a different approach this year with how it distributes quarterback snaps, which opens the door for more work than Milroe might have otherwise expected. He was the Seahawks most used quarterback in the 2025 preseason, and if he gets another meaningful run now, his performance could help shape how the team thinks about its future at the position.
